Boat captain Linda Greenlaw, who was featured in Sebastian Junger’s novel, “The Perfect Storm,” will lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, at The Mariners' Museum in Newport News.

Greenlaw is America’s only female swordfish boat captain and the bestselling author of several books. Her appearance coincides with the release of the paperback, “Seaworthy: A Swordboat Captain Returns to the Sea,” in which she writes of her return to swordfishing after a 10-year absence. Her adventures in the Grand Banks off Newfoundland include dealing with a rusty boat, a motley crew and the Canadian border patrol.

Also just released is Greenlaw’s latest cookbook, “The Maine Summers Cookbook,” co-written with her mother, Martha Greenlaw.

The event is free to museum members, $5 for non-members. Doors open at 6:15 p.m.
